5:00 am
couldn't afford it. they couldn't afford me. >> thank you both for the discussion. we have a lot of news this morning including what is in and out of this government new spending bill that stopped the shutdown? let's get after it. >> in many cases, you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you'd make. >> democrats and republicans agreeing on a spending plan that staves off the threat of a shutdown. >> we need the wall to stop the drugs and the human trafficking. >> donald trump has given us a graveyard of broken promises. >> they say we won't cover preexisting conditions. we cover it beautifully. >> he said he'd cover more people at less cost. his bill does just the opposite. >> i think health care reform is just around the corner. >> scheduling a meeting with duterte is not appropriate. >> it doesn't mean human rights don't matter. we need cooperation among our partners in southeast asia. >> this is "new day," with chris
5:01 am
cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> good morning. welcome to your new day. it is monday, may 1st, 8:00 in the east and we begin with breaking news. shutdown averted. late night bipartisan spending agreement will keep the government funded until september. it is a $1 trillion plan denying money for the president a's border wall and dismissing his request to cut funding from a lot of domestic programs. >> after inviting a world leader accused of human rights abuses to the white house, cnn has it covered. suzanne malveaux, what is the latest on capitol hill? >> reporter: good morning, it's surprise news, members of congress working through the weekend hammering out, negotiating this deal, a breakthrough to fund the government, not just through this but through september, after weeks of tense talks between democrats and republicans both seemingly trying to avoid a government shutdown.
5:02 am
rare bipartisan agreement on capitol hill over a $1 trillion spending bill that includes billions in new defense spending, and $1.5 billion for border security, but not a single dollar for president trump's border wall, despite the president's insist eence that ia wall is necessary, at saturday's campaign rally. >> we'll build the walls, don't worry. it. go home, ogo to sleep. rest assured. that's the final thing we need it. >> reporter: also left out, federal cuts to sanctuary cities and money for deportation force. >> at the heart of my administrations efforts to restore the rule of law has been a nationwide crackdown on criminal gangs, and that means taking the fight to the sanctuary cities that shield
5:03 am
these dangerous criminals from removal. >> reporter: no cuts to planned parenthood funding, a nominal cut to the epa's budget, a $2 billion increase for the national institutes of health, which the president targeted for budget cuts and $295 million to help puerto rico continue making payments to medicaid, a democratic demand the president has spoken out against multiple times. the bill also includes millions to reimburse local law enforcement for extra security for the president and first family, when they travel to florida and new york. other bipartisan victories include $407 million in wildfire relief for western states, and a permanent extension to a program that provides health insurance for coal miners, a key constituency for president trump. >> who are the miners here? the miners finally we're taking care of our miners. we love our miners.
5:04 am
>> reporter: votes on the funding bill are expected to go before both chambers by the end of the week, also we expect some house republicans to once again reintroduce their health care plan to repeal and replace o'bama care. >> thank you very much. the white house pushing for a vote on health care before the house goes on recess at the end of the week. this as president trump finds himself under fire for inviting the philippines authoritarian leader to the white house. cnn's joe johns live at the white house with more. they're going on vacation again down there? how i do get one of those jobs? >> reporter: that's a pretty good deal if you can get one. you have to get elected first. the first 100 days showed this administration a lot of things. one of them was that it's almost impossible to dictate the pace of what lawmakers are going to do. the white house is now once again predicting victory on
5:05 am
health care and getting a bill to the presidents desk. the question is about the timing. >> i think health care reform, repealing and replacing obamacare is around the corner. i think we're close. >> reporter: the white house expressing confidence in the fw gop's latest health care bill. president trump trying to spin the administration's effort saying they aren't pushing for a vote. >> i said relax, don't worry about the phony 100-day thing, relax, take your time, get the good vote and make it perfect. >> reporter: despite calling out lawmakers by name at his saturday rally. >> and i'll be so angry at congressman kelly and congressman moreno and all of our congressmen in this room if we don't get that damned thing passed quickly. >> reporter: the president falsely claiming that the new bill guaranties coverage for those with preexisting conditions. >> preexisting conditions are in the bill, and i mandated it. i said it has to be.
5:06 am
we're going to have lower premiums. >> reporter: when in reality the draft bill would allow states to opt out of the requirement under certain conditions. meanwhile the trump administration is under fire for inviting the philippines authoritarian leader to the white house. rodrigo duterte has led a deadly crackdown on drugs that left thousands dead. >> good folks, bad folks, people we wish would do better in their country doesn't matter. we've got to be on the same page. >> reporter: the white house argues the u.s. needs the philippines to combat the north korean threat. critics and human rights organizations respond with outrage and the president raising eyebrows for questions if russia is responsible for hacking during the 2016 campaign. >> if you don't catch a hacker in the act it's hard to say who did the hacking.
5:07 am
with that being said i'll go along with russia. could have been china, could have been a lot of different fru groups. >> reporter: president trump marking his 100th day in office over the weekend with a campaign rally reprising attacks on his favorite foe. >> i think we would all agree the media deserves a very, very, big, fat failing grade. >> reporter: the white house could soon have another vikecy working in national security. that hare has had upheaval since the first national security adviser michael flynn left. sources tell cnn that the controversial aide sebastian gorigo gorka is expected to be leaving soon. it's not clear whether he'll take another job in the administration or leave entirely. >> thank you very much.
5:08 am
we have david gregory, david drucker and jason kusinich. let's put up for our viewers, if you are just waking up this is what happened last night. the budget open. here are some details $15 billion for defense spending, $1.5 billion for before der security, funding for opioid abuse. $57 million for presidential security needs, what florida and new york were asking for added secret service because the president lives in a couple of different places. here is what is out, no funding cuts for planned parenthood, so all of the things that the republicans had railed against for planned parenthood no the funding stays in. in no money for deportation force, no federal cuts to snkt wear cities, big deal for mayors of san francisco and new york and no funding for the border wall construction. how do you see it? >> the democrats in the senate
5:09 am
used the filibuster correctly. this president is held hostage by a republican congress because he cannot get a lot of republicans to go along in the house and the senate with key parts of his agenda and i think that's due first of all to the fact and i think in some ways we should credit republicans in the congress in this regard. there were a lot of assumptions and i was guilty of this at times, when you looked at what president trump was the strongest in the country, it meant that he was going to be able to bring along the conservatives always pushing back against their leadership under president obama, that hasn't been the case and we've seen clearly because president trump is weak in districts where it is competitive and where democrats have a chance to pick up seats in the midterm elections, you have moderates that are pushing back against him. in a weird way trump isn't the most ideological president we've seen on the right. that gets us to how trump deals with this. i don't think he's yet learned as good of a negotiator as he is in business how to negotiate with congress and put together the pieces of the puzzle in a
5:10 am
big legislative deal that are required for health care, tax reform upcoming and if he wants these major permanent achievements that permanently impact the government and can't be easily undone by future presidents he'll have to learn how to negotiate in washington which is different than negotiating real estate in new york. >> david gregory, he seems to have forced mcconnell or at least ryan at this point to accept this bill, we had jim jordan, representative from ohio, i don't like it. for every $1 on defense i had to give the democrats a $1, i'm not going to vote for it but he got it done. >> what the president recognized and house and senate leadership recognized since republicans control the government, they can't be responsible for a government shutdown. this is a temporary measure. this is not a budget so we lieutenant shouldn't be throwing a big party for them. they're not doing the hard work of passing a budget and they have bigger fights to fight.
5:11 am
health care, tax reform, far more important. this is pragmatism on the part of the white house and congressional leaders. there's some give to democrats and you may look to other areas where some of this may happen again. cutting epa spending which they stepped back from here, other things the democrats wanted, this is the kind of thing where trump realizes he's got bigger fights and bigger priorities. >> jackie, how do you see it? >> i don't disagree. republicans need to clear the deck so they could start working on some of the things they've promised to do like tax reform, like health care, and if they don't get this spending measure done, and they spend all this political capital fighting each other on this, then we're moving into the summer, where they had actually hoped to have some legislative points on the board, and the bottom line is they need democratic votes to get this through and if they were going to defund planned parenthood in
5:12 am
this package that was not going to happen. >> we had jim jordan on this morning talking about health care. he's like this bill is pretty good based on it not being what he wants, which is it does not repeal and replace obamacare but it seems like they can't negotiate the space in between, david, even what we saw with the president trying to get past the idea of xre existipreexisting. are they leaving it the way it is now, no, but they don't want to say that. they seem caught the middle of this still. >> they're trying to give people who like everything about at fordable care act, all the protections against, the coverage guarantees based on preexisting conditions and they're trying to to do that while not delivering any vinegar that goes along with it, the mandates that pay for it, the taxes that pay for it. this is the space that they're caught up in.
5:13 am
congressman jordan is right it's a partial repeal of obamacare and shows president obama has changed inexorablely the way people think about health care in america and republicans are then caught up in this space where they're playing on president obama's turf but trying to first of all satisfy a campaign promise to repeal and replace o'ce obamacare and prem are rising, choice is receding because the current health care system governed by obamacare is not working properly and where republicans probably could go if the president wanted to take them there, they could decide to strengthen and keep obamacare, but the political cost for doing so on the right would be huge and i don't know they could survive it. >> david gregory? >> well, i think there's some confusion around whether the president can do what he says, which is mandate the kinds of changes that he's talking about with regard to coverage of preexisting conditions.
5:14 am
there's a danger, the white house saying they're so close if they don't deliver and if they can't bring republicans together that's another nunlg defeat and actually making implementation work on health care, this is something that people don't pay attention to. it takes a long time for it to get absorbed into the system. obama cair is being absorbed into the health care system and there's pluses and minuses as well, but coverage is a key issue, whether it's hospitals, whether it's how the system works in terms of controlling costs, how many people are getting covered is a big issue. >> there's also been, i just wanted to add also been a contradiction with what the white house is saying is in this bill versus what's in the bill versus they're trying to pressure congress to get this done, and then you have president trump saying i told them to take their time. you can have one more week. so it really does, there seems to be a lot of conflicting messages and it only makes it
5:15 am
harder for house republican leadership. at the end of the day they're the ones who are trying to get the votes to get this through, and get something through, don't seem concerned to get anything through that would pass the senate which is a very real hurdle for whatever comes out of the house. >> they got to be careful that the people who get caught off the roles aren't the same people they need in those swing districts. >> right. >> yep. >> panel, thank you. >> we have breaking news for you, police are looking for a motive after a gunman opened fire at a pool party in san diego. woman was killed. six others hurt. cnn's paul verkamen is live at the scene. >> reporter: peter sellers was a mechanic and in late 2015 he had filed for bankruptcy under crushing debt but that is possibly just one motive in this. all of the victims were people of color, six of them african-american, one of them hispanic. the shooter was white. they're trying to determine what led up to this.
5:16 am
one man said he heard some arguing but he was playing video games and didn't bother to see what was going on, and then they heard the noises, sounded like fireworks. turned out to be gunfire. at one point, some witnesses characterized it as the shooter was sitting on pool equipment with a beer in one hand and firing. police responded. they came upon the shooter. he turned what they describe as a large caliber handgun at them and he was killed at the scene. still a big mystery here at this luxurious apartment complex in la jolla. back to you. >> paul, keep us posted on when there's any developments there. >> so the spending bill agreement appears to favor a lot of democratic issues. we'll talk to a republican lawmaker about how he feels about that, next. usaa gives me the peace of mind and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children.
5:17 am
we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life.
5:18 am
you need one of these. you wouldn't put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. tell you what, i'll give it to you for half off.
5:19 am
5:20 am
they're saying no shutdown. republicans and democrats poised to vote on a bipartisan budget deal, continuing resolution to keep the federal government funded through september. it's not a real budget, they can't get one of those passed yet but the deal is going to add billions for defense and border security but the compromise appears to have more wins for the democrats. let's discuss with republican congressman patrick mann of pennsylvania, a member of the house ways and means committee. good to have you with us, congressman. will you vote for this? >> yes, i suspect i will, chris. i liked what was in the bill with respect to funding for
5:21 am
opioids, the national institutes of health, what we're trying to do with cancer breakthroughs and plus up for defense. >> how do you explain it seems to be light on the president's wish list? >> well i thought that was a part of leadership on the president. he got some concessions on the border, having served on homeland security, the things that he's insisting on with respect to increased activity by agents, the use of some of the new technology, are the very things that i think will help us get to a more secure border. he put off the longer fight to a later point but i think he allowed us to get to yes, there's been too much "no" around this town for a long time and that's significant and i think the president certainly participated in getting to yes but not insisting those things be the stopping points. >> so no wall. maybe later. no word from ryan or mcconnell about this. we heard from the democrats. is that proof of the president's fingerprints maybe on their
5:22 am
lapels? >> well, no, i just think he had chuck schumer out there as quick as a camera can get there. my suspicion that's really probably it. i'm sure you'll have plenty of commentary with all the other issues before us. this is a nice thing that got done sunday night. >> you don't read anything into ryan and mcconnell not being there, maybe working on a new health care bill, we are told there's going to be a vote this week. what do you think of that? will there be a vote? >> yes, there's a chance there will be a vote when the numbers are there, and you know, there's still a number of members from the republican conference and it's all going to have to come from republicans. not going to get a single democrat vote so the speaker has been pretty clear, a vote can come, but the numbers have to be there. >> do you think the numbers are there? >> i don't think they're there today. i think there's probably closer than they've been in a while. i still have great concerns. i'm not there because i'm concerned what may happen with preexisting conditions and the ability for us to be able to
5:23 am
assure coverage particularly those who are very sick and those who are older but there may be some ways people can get there. >> the president was playing with the concept of preexisting conditions in interviews this weekend. he said no it's in there. we take care of it beautifully. that's not really true, is it, congressman? preexisting condition protections will not exist as affirmatively as they do right n now. >> well that's accurate, but right now is broken and we're not able to afford what we're trying to do. what i want to see is something that can actually work. i'm a little concerned that any time you get into the high risk pools you have to assure they're going to be sufficiently funded so that you can take those of the sickest and assure they can get a policy that is so expensive we return to the days where it's not real coverage because you don't have a policy that you can afford. that being said, there are ways
5:24 am
we can do a lot more with the high risk pools, and chronic condition care, some other kinds of things, which may get us there. these are big lifts. i think we're pretty close but the fact is there is preexisting condition coverage. the question is at what cost? that's why look, you said you have concerns about it. if you have concerns whether or not people with preexisting conditions get coverage shall it's not like right now, you get coverage. >> i said it before, it isn't like it is right now but what we have right now isn't working either. the costs are exploding. we haven't found a way to contain it. >> high risk pools, this is operating off the premise of we don't want the mandate. we want to do something else. lot of insurance experts say these high risk pools can cost even more than what you have in place right now, and they point to the fact that the rate of
5:25 am
increase in spending in health care is less under the aca than it was before the aca. are you concerned about throwing the baby out with the bath water? >> i think there's a lot of things we can do to control health care costs, if we start looking at managing the care in a better way and get away from the fee for service program. there's a lot of room to make up here, where i think we can do more but your point is accurate, wherever the states have turned to high risk pools the batting average is not too good and the reason is you put your sickest people in there, and on merit the sickest people use a lot of medical care, so how do we manage those more effectively in the long run, you can do a lot more with chronic care and other kinds of things. there are solutions but i don't think they're the kinds of things that will be done with the click of a finger overnight. >> are you think being reaching across the aisle saying repeal and replace was a great campaign slogan but now dealing with the reality of how to deal with this thing. let's fix what's there, parts of
5:26 am
is are good, parts of it aren't. let's get on the same page. anybody talking that way? >> it would be nice if there was but you know you're not getting a vote at this point in time, not allowed to get a vote. nancy pelosi will not let a democrat take a vote that will help us. when we were trying to get things that dealt obamacare in the last congress it was impossible for anybody to get up a vote. you look perhaps down the road people start to say hey, we haven't been able to get it done in any way, shape or form, and the system has to be fixed but i suspect that's further down the road. >> congressman meehan, thank you very much. appreciate you being on "new day." >> thanks, chris. president trump inviting the philippines president rodrigo duterte to the white house. he's aus couped of many human rights abuses including a willingness to kill even drug addicts. should he be welcome at the white house?
5:27 am
5:28 am
5:29 am
5:30 am
the white house on the defensive, after an invitation by president trump to the philippines, authoritarian president rodrigo duterte, despite duterte's atrocious human rights record. john sifton is the asia advocacy director for human rights watch. good morning, john. >> good morning. >> what did you think when you heard president trump had a "very friendly conversation" request president duterte and extended this invitation to the
5:31 am
white house? >> in some cases it's not surprising. president trump invited the authoritarian leader of egypt to the white house, but it was extremely disappointing. talk about who duterte is. not just an abusive leader, he boasts of his crimes which is more than a lot of abusive regimes do. he boasts of killing people himself, and he has set off a wave of extra judicial killings in the names of counter narcotics, not just drug users and dealers but suspected drug users who turn out to be innocent people. the other thing we noticed when death squads are created in any country, philippines, brazil, whatever, they tend to morph into political death squads as well. we're starting to see a political dive to this violence with his political opponents targeted for threats and violence. >> as you know, the chief of staff reince priebus said this weekend that the motivation is that the u.s. needs duterte's
5:32 am
help to try to rein in north korea. >> that's preposterous. china could be helpful in north korea and could you talk to certain regimes which have flaunted nonproliferation sanctions against north korea, like malaysia, nigeria or uganda. the philippines is not that important. they are the chair of an important asian bloc of countries this year but that doesn't mean they're important and also doesn't mean they have the weight to do anything on north korea. what this is really about i think is president trump embracing strong men, and that's what's really scary. it doesn't matter whether you're a trump supporter or not. this is not a partisan issue. this is a question of whether you believe in governments run by law or governments that are run by violence, and duterte's government is operating by basically the rule of force. >> you're right, president trump is doing something different than we've seen before. he is if not reaching out, he is certainly sending signals, and speaking in a complimentary tone
5:33 am
to some of the strong men such as vladimir putin, even kim jong-un this weekend president trump seemed to be speaking in very soft tones, not harsh tones, about. i think the white house would say he's trying to do something different. marginalizing and ostracizing these guys and having their relationship with them hasn't worked and in terms of duterte, by not talking with him certainly hasn't cut down on the human rights abuses and the killings there. >> there's nothing wrong with talking. i think the celebratory language is what's disturbing and coupled with the fact president trump seems to look down on democra c democratically elected leaders who follow the rule of law who don't use violence and cunning manipulations to secure their power suggests he admires people who abuse the law as opposed to follow it and that's disturbing for all americans whether you
5:34 am
support him or not. inviting a man into the white house who has admitted to killing people himself and who set off a wave of thousands of killings suggests that you believe that laws are unimportant and that violence is the way you get things done. that's a terrible message to be sending to the world and the people of the fill evens. >> i heard you said president trump is morally xl lly complic the future in philippines. how is he by talking or inviting the leader somewhere? >> it's not by talking. everybody can talk. talk something diplomacy. that's fine, but celebrating him and endorsing his counter narcotics strategy which is what we heard he did on this call on saturday is an endorsement of the methodology of the so-called war on drugs, and that methodology is one of extra judicially murdering supposed drug users, as if you could exterminate the hundreds of thousands of adikted people in
5:35 am
the philippines, exterminate them. it's a terrible message to be sending. you're right, it's different. what i would say is that if you coupled that with a constructive dialogue on how to change direction, okay that's fine. president trump isn't doing that. he's celebrating this methodology. in that sense he's endorsing it and it's creating less pressure on duterte to change his way. what the world, everybody needs to be doing and the most powerful leader of the world, donald trump, needs to be doing, is making duterte feel like he's doing something wrong and that he needs to stop and yet president trump did the exact opposite this weekend. >> don sifton from human rights watch thank you for your perspective on all of this. >> thank you. >> chris? so the republican controled congress has come to an agreement on a spending bill, so why are some of the gop upset about what is and is not in there? that's part of the bottom line, next. your insurance company

5:39 am
time for the five things to know for your new day. congress reaching a bipartisan spending deal to keep the government funned through
5:40 am
september, but it does not include money for the president's border wall or the republican's pledge to cut planned parenthood funding. >> the trump white house on the defensive after inviting philippines president rodrigo duterte to the white house despite his abysmal human rights record. the white house say they need duter duterte's help dealing with north korea. police say a man in san diego killed one woman and wounded six others. the gunman was killed by police as he tried to reload. >> 13 people dead, dozens more injured, after severe storms tore through four states in the south. the storm spawning tornadoes, floods, and that same system now moving north. breaking news this morning, ryan seacrest will joint kelly ripa as the new host of "live!" seacrest will make his debut during this morning's broadcast. ripa has been searching for a
5:41 am
new co-host since michael strahan left the show last year. >> bit of a size ratio. >> not that you think about like that. >> strahan makes me look like you, he's a big dude. go to newdaycnn.com for the latest. there are more than 1,000 days left before the next presidential election. let's start the clock. >> where is it? >> shall we? please, put the clock uhm. why is president trump's campaign spending more than $1 million on ads this week? we'll get the bottom line from ron brownstein next. people confuse nice and kind but they're different. it's nice to remove artificial ingredients. kind never had to. we've used real ingredients, whole nuts, and natural flavors from the very beginning. give kind a try.
5:42 am
5:43 am
5:44 am
5:45 am
we focus this morning on the new spending bill that is set to prevent a government shutdown. breaking down the details it looks like big win for democrats, but is it? let's get the bottom line with cnn's senior political analyst and senior editor "the atlantic" ron brownstein. there are less are of the things we thought trump wanted and the republicans wanted but is this
5:46 am
the price of getting a success? >> well yes, look, it's the reality of needing 60 votes in the senate, but it is a win for democrats of the kind of a particular kind and the only kind they'll likely have in the coming months where they essentially the win is slowing down the advance of the trump agenda, not so much advancing their own. i think of it similar to the clean power plan. president trump is begin to repeal president obama's plan for dealing with climate and the best democrats can do is stop him from legally repealing it. they can't make him advance the underlying agenda trying to reduce carbon emissions. >> some of these are big deals for republicans, sorry for democrats. >> democrats, yes. >> the no funding for the border wall, that was obviously a staple of the president's campaign. the no cuts to planned parenthood. >> yes. >> this is the perennial fight they have all the time and it felt as though this year with the republican in the white
5:47 am
house, and republicans controlling both houses of congress that republicans might win that one, and then no cuts to sanctuary cities, we talked about that a lot on the program, that that seems like a psychic victory at least for democrats. >> they're real victories in stopping things trump wanted to do. democrats want to move toward universal pre-k or universal public college tu tigs free. they have no capacity to advance their own agenda at least through the 2018 election but yes, the tactical victory is slowing down and stopping things that trump wanted to do. we'll see this play out on many fronts in many ways the courts are going to be more important than congress because president trump has probably had the most success in his first 100 days is undoing beginning the legal process of undoing things that president obama has done and that is going to be fought out largely in the courts. as i like to say the eraser is working better for president trump than the other side of the
5:48 am
pencil >> this gets you through september. they can fight the fights. i'm sure paul ryan is acutely aware. >> i'm happy it's longer than a week. that was the first prediction. >> part of the win here today, so that takes us to what happens this week. they say they're going to get a health care vote. i have two different answers on that. jim jordan was like yeah i think we'll you get a vote and meehan say if we have the votes we'll have a vote. we think we're getting there, but not 100%. what tunindo you think? >> this is like lucy with the football. they're right on the tipping point in the house and it is always possible that they can muscle it through but they have defined the bill, repositioned the bill in a way that is almost unimaginable than anything quite like this, with the state opt-outs of essential health benefits and guaranteed protections for people with preexisting conditions could pass the senate. you will be asking house moderates in competitive districts to vote for something that is 70% of the public opposes and has virtually no
5:49 am
chance of passing the senate. man, that is asking a lot to get a symbolic victory through the house, circular as we said to the famous btu energy tax that bill clinton and al gore made house democrats vote on in '93, didn't pass the senate and they were still hammered on it in the 1994 election. >> preexisting conditions is one of the things people are looking at closely americans to see if it's in or out, one that really matters. it was very hard to tell from president trump's interview on cbs, john dickerson, god bless him, he tried to get an answer. here is a portion of this. >> preexisting conditions are in the bill, and i mandated, i said it has to be. >> one of the ifices that was discussed preexist something optional for the state. >> sure, changing -- >> permanent? >> of course. >> everybody gets preexisting no matter where they live. >> the states also have a lot to
5:50 am
do with it. we ultimately want to get it back down to the states. the state is going to be in a much better position to take care because it's small per >> i'm not hearing you say there is a guarantee of preexisting conditions. >> we have a clause that guarant guarantees. >> is there a guarantee but up to the states? >> it's up to the states. it's hard to think of another interview where a president has been either as ill informed, misinformed or deliberately misrespecting a major piece of domestic legislation. so many things he said in the few minutes were detached from the reality of the bill, the specific proposal that changed from the first version of the health care bill to the second was specifically to allow states to opt out of the national nationwide rules and obamacare that require insurers to cover people with preexisting conditions at comparable rates to those without and s also provide a menu of health
